The most notable result for Kenyan chess at the Zone 4.2 Chess Championship happened in round 5. For only the second time, a Kenyan player defeated a grandmaster. Egyptian GM El Gindy fell to Mehul Gohil’s pressing attack in an unusual, unbalanced game:
It’s worth mentioning the time situation here. At the end of the game, Mehul had a bit more than 6 minutes left on the clock, compared to 53 minutes for GM El Gindy.
